Does that mean I will hear you singing? I better....

I'm still kind of in shock. After twenty years, I finally pulled it off.

And best of all, I did it by doing what I love. I didn't hurt anybody, I didn't sell out, I chased that muse, and I finally caught her.

...and this is only the beginning. ;-)

Thank you! I hope this motivates you to do more writing. If I can punch through, anyone can.

If I may make a suggestion, try writing your e-mail in WordPad (Windows) or TextEditor (Mac), then just cut and paste it. That way, if LJ takes a shit, you still have the original file and don't have to type the whole thing over. (I do that with some of my posts if they are long or really involved. I started when I spent two and half hours writing some political post that was full of rage and snark and all kinds of stuff. It had some of my best and funniest cheap shots at the Establishment. I had just hit send, and LJ got DDoS'ed and my post got a one-way ticket in the gloaming. Ooooooooooooh, I was PISSED!!!)

Nah, I didn't think about you telling me about an email that doesn't exist. My first reaction was the old joke, "Please respond if you don't get this message." ;-)

Yeah well you punch through because you got a pretty badass gift.

I just shot my email off, did it in txt because I'm OG like that. Generally do that with my posts but didn't think about it for just firing off an email, laaammmeee.

What is Digital Publication, again I am OG Old School, is this like e-book? I just got a Tablet so am enjoying (and learning_ about the world of e-bookage and lemme tell you, it is way more difficult than my abacus.

Is the badass gift you are referring to my writing, or my iron willed determination? ;-)

I'll respond to the email in a little bit. I hope I didn't sound condescending, it's easy to give advice when you aren't the one in the situation (LJ almost ate my most recent political post, and I thought, Don't tell me I have to retype THAT!). There's an old Polish proverb that says, "When you're up to your ass in aligators, it's tough to remember you were trying to drain the swamp." ;-)

Yes, it is exactly like an e-book. There are services like Graphic.ly and Comixology that basically handle comics instead of print books, and that's who will cover the release.

And given how my computer acts sometimes, I think I'd be better off with an abacus myself.
